pppFox: private, portable, proxy firefox

Portable firefox & profile manager shell scripts which create & load firefox profiles with predefined proxy settings, useragent & mac address

Fully portable to spoof identity (IP & MAC & useragent) where ever you go

• hide your identity (IP & MAC & useragent) from services used
• hide connection meta data from local network operator

-> evade geo IP restrictions and avoid account suspension if multiple identities not allowed at a service

Buzzwords: Firefox portable, profile manager, spoof identity

Usage

Create unique firefox identity / profile

Create new unique firefox profile with defined user agent, proxy settings and mac address

./newIdentity.sh -h
pppFox: private, portable, proxy firefox
usage:
./newIdentity.sh --PROXY_IP [IP] --PROXY_PORT [PORT] --USERAGENT "[AGENT STRING]" --RANDOM_MAC [0|1]
./newIdentity.sh -s [IP] -p [PORT] -a "[AGENT STRING]" -m [0|1]
parameter:
-s | --PROXY_IP                 proxy server ip
-p | --PROXY_PORT               proxy server port, default: 8080
-a | --USERAGENT                useragent
-m | --RANDOM_MAC               generate random mac
-i | --INTERFACE                overwrite network interface, default: eth0
-h | --help                     display this
configure default PROXY_IP, PROXY_PORT, USERAGENT, RANDOM_MAC (root required), INTERFACE in newIdentity.sh before launching
examples:
./newIdentity.sh --PROXY_IP 127.0.0.1 --PROXY_PORT 2658 --USERAGENT "Mozilla/5.0 (inux x86_64;) Gecko/201101"
./newIdentity.sh -s 127.0.0.1 -p 2658 -m 0
./newIdentity.sh -s 127.0.0.1 -p 8080 -a "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64;) Gecko/201101 Firefox/60.0"

Important output is the new identity ID. (you need this id to load your profile again)

pppFox: new identity: c4f11767db0bf2ab5b11e2917a7073f1

Load identity by identity / profile folder name

Load private unique firefox profile with predefined proxy settings and mac address

./loadIdentity.sh -h
pppFox: private, portable, proxy firefox
usage:
./loadIdentity.sh --INTERFACE [INTERFACE] --RANDOM_MAC [0|1]
./loadIdentity.sh -m [0|1] -i [INTERFACE]
parameter:
-m | --RANDOM_MAC               overwrite load random mac on / off
-i | --INTERFACE                overwrite network interface, default: eth0
-h | --help                     display this
examples:
./loadIdentity.sh c4f11767db0bf2ab5b11e2917a7073f1            # load identity like defined
./loadIdentity.sh 5                                           # load by line number from searchIdentity.sh
./loadIdentity.sh                                             # will ask for identity string
./loadIdentity.sh c4f11... --INTERFACE wlan0 --RANDOM_MAC 1   # change mac on interface
./loadIdentity.sh -m 0  9b41499a51a31ecbac215a8ce0b1fb63      # without mac change

Generate and set random mac address

./setRandomMac.sh

For desktop launch choose "execute in terminal" option for all scripts. (console input is expected)
